In the morning, Qianjie peeled the peanuts in his hand and thought, this thing is delicious, salty and delicious, can you add it to the coffee? How should I add it?

The heart is not as good as action, then hurriedly ran to the whole network to search, it turns out that someone has already "got" peanuts into the coffee, many menus also have the option of peanut lattes, and even have different versions in the practice. so today let's delve into this somewhat special fancy coffee.

Raw material preparation

According to the recipe shared by everyone, if we want to integrate the rich aroma of peanuts into coffee, the first thing we use is not whole peanuts, but peanut butter for bread, so strictly speaking, peanut latte is "peanut butter latte". Peanut butter has its own sweet and salty nutty aroma, soft texture, smooth to eat, whether cold or hot drinks, can form a good match with milk coffee.

Considering that the taste of peanut butter is mainly salty and high in fat, it may seem abrupt if it is simply mixed with a latte, and the taste buds begin to resist without drinking two mouthfuls, so Qianjie tries to find some elements that can provide sweetness. For example, honey, condensed milk, syrup and so on, they can not only provide a sense of layering for coffee, but also balance the "sauce flavor" to a certain extent.

As for the other role, coffee beans are also very important. in order to improve the nutty aroma of coffee, Qianjie first thought of Brazilian Hilado with its own cream peanut flavor, which is a medium-to-deep-roasted red bourbon with half-sun treatment, taste balanced, low acid, medium concentration, concentrated with a good amount of fat, suitable for the extraction of mocha pots and coffee machines, so it is also a regular customer in Qianjie Italian matching.

Peanut ice latte

In the first step, we prepare a transparent coffee cup, then dig out a spoonful of peanut butter and spread it evenly on the inner wall.

Next, add 100 grams of ice and 180 grams of milk to the glass.

The second step is to scoop 20 grams of peanut butter and 12 grams of condensed milk into a clean and open container. Peanut butter is preferably liquid (solid peanut butter is not recommended in front street). Because it can be more quickly mixed with other ingredients when stirring.

The third step is to use Brazilian Hilado Coffee to extract two portions of concentrated coffee. The Italian bean grinder equipped in the store has a grinding degree of 2.0g, and 20 grams of powder extract 40 grams of coffee liquid in the ratio of 1:2 in 31 seconds.

The fourth step is to pour the espresso into the mixed sauce and stir it with an electric blender until the foam becomes dense and the three are fully mixed.

The last step is to pour the mixed peanut butter coffee liquid on the iced milk and a cup of fragrant peanut ice latte is done.

Gently stirring, you can already smell the faint aroma of peanuts. After taking a sip with a straw, you can clearly feel the taste of creamy peanuts, milk chocolate and caramel cookies. Under the action of ice, the rich nutty aroma with a hint of milk is not sweet, the taste is very good.

Hot latte with peanut butter

The practice of hot peanut latte is actually similar to the usual hot milk coffee, what we need to consider most is that all kinds of sauces (peanut butter, condensed milk) without affecting the fusion (flower drawing) and taste. (how much, where and when should it be added?

Compared with the comfort and pleasure of iced coffee, hot drinks are often easier to set off the taste of the raw materials, and the addition of milk will produce salty cheese-like characteristics, so if you don't want the "sauce flavor" to become too strong, you'd better reduce the amount slightly. Here Qianjie will reduce the amount of peanut butter to 12 grams and condensed milk to 6 grams.

At the first attempt, Qianjie wanted to use the whirlpool and high temperature of milk foam to "melt" peanut butter and condensed milk, so it was milked into the milk in advance, but the effect was not ideal. There are two main reasons: first, peanut butter is not easy to dissolve in milk, so it is difficult to form silky milk bubbles, and the pattern is unstable; second, peanut butter makes milk "muddy", and the dark color is not good for drawing. And the taste doesn't show an advantage.

So in the second attempt, Qianjie slightly changed its way of thinking, allowing peanut butter to condense with Italian style, and condensed milk to be distributed to the milk, which not only solved the problem of foam, but also let the flavor of peanuts appear in the coffee.

In the end, the peanut hot latte is really balanced to drink, the upper fat provides the coffee with caramel and black aroma, the entrance is accompanied by a strong roasted peanut flavor, paired with sweet hot milk, the whole taste becomes dense and silky. It's like eating a peanut cocoa cookie.

In fact, in addition to the play mentioned above in the front street, people can also play boldly when making this peanut latte according to their own preferences, such as sprinkling crushed nuts on top of coffee, which can not only improve the photogenic effect, but also add a certain taste to the latte; you can also add some sea salt flavor, or replace the milk base with oatmeal milk.
